Abacá Fibres, also known as “Manilla Hemp”, are an 100% biodegradable material that’s extracted from the leaf sheath around the trunk of the abaca plant, a section otherwise considered waste.

These are one of the strongest natural fibres in the world, besides being very flexible and lightweight , although they’re also known for their weather, water and flame resistance. Good quality Abaca Fibres distinguish themselves for a lustrous light colour, being easy to dye and very able to mix with other fibres.

Banana fibres can be extracted from different parts of the banana stems, resulting in distinctive results: tougher (outer layer) or soft and smooth (inner layer).The banana fibre is produced from waste and biodegradable, can be used as vegan alternative to silk, since it is strong, lightweight, breathable, water and fire resistant, and it both dyes and dries easily.

A new age fibre made from bamboo, a plant that grows extremely fast with no need of irrigation or pesticides (consuming 1/3 less water than cotton), by extracting its cellulose using chemical-free organic solvents, to produce via a closed-loop process, a 100% biodegradable fibre that is soft and silky, yet strong and durable.This fibre is also characterized for being: absorbent, antibacterial, thermoregulating, and hypoallergenic; powerful properties, especially for those with sensitive skin, allergies, acne, eczema or other skin problems.

Circulose® is a ‘dissolving pulp’ – a product used to make different ‘man-made cellulosic fibres’ such as viscose, lyocell, modal or acetate - 100% made from discarded cotton textiles instead of wood.

Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer in the planet - an integral element of trees and plants - which can be found, on its purest natural form, in Cotton fibresFibres made from Circulose® are equivalent to virgin fibres, so they can be used on their own or blended with other fibres, depending on preference.

Strong and durable, less stretchy than similar fibres, and with antibacterial abilities, good absorbency and are capable of UV protection.

Natural colours range from creamy white, shades of brown, grey, black or green.

Production wise, the hemp grows extremely fast, it can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax using the same amount of land.

Produced from the hair-like fibres that surround the seeds of the Kapok tree, which grows wild without the need of human intervention.Kapok fibres are smooth, lightweight and have a silk-like luster, biodegradable, moisture-resistant, quick-drying, insulant, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial

Co-created with RDD TEXTILES

“Did you know conventional methods takes around 10,000 litres of water to grow 1kg of cotton?”

“We're diversifying our range of bio-based materials to help address the problems linked to the worlds over-reliance on cotton. We’ve developed two fabrics that look and feel like cotton, with zero cotton used.

FRUTFIBER™ repurposes food waste, turning banana leaf fibre, pineapple leaf fibre and bamboo into a new, innovative fabric.

PLNTFIBER™ uses renewable, fast-growing plants such as Himalayan nettle, bamboo, eucalyptus and seaweed—so you can look good and do good."

ROICA Eco-Smart™ is a smart yarn that offers sustainable and premium stretch capabilities, with 2 contemporary and unique sustainable formats:
ROICA V550
A unique yarn that that also eliminates all toxic and unidentified chemicals for a safe continuous cycle, even at end-of-life, degrading in the environment without releasing any harmful substance.

ROICA CF (Clean Fit)
A premium stretch yarn with more than 50% of pre-consumer recycled content, from in-house residues of polymer and yarn, e.g. after start up procedures . Using pre-industrial waste material in the Recycling-line results in reduced amount of waste, reduced amount of chemical compounds needed in polymerization,

These fibres are derived from certified renewable wood sources using an eco-responsible production process by meeting high environmental standards and contributing to a cleaner environment.

Extracted from naturally grown beech wood through an environmentally responsible pulp-to-fibre process, all TENCEL™ standard Modal fibres are biodegradable and compostable, thus they can fully revert back to nature.

Renowned for its exceptional and long-lasting softness, due to the fibre’s sleek cross section, Modal fibres also enhance the soft touch (twice as soft as cotton) of fabrics even after repeated washing and dry cycles. 

New virgin TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres, used to make fabrics and garments, that come from the upcycling of a substantial proportion of cotton scraps; e.g. from garment production, in addition to wood pulp.

miDori®  is a sustainable range of textile finishes based in natural, renewable and biodegradable ingredients, essentially bio-oils extracted from plants, microalgae or biowaste streams, without using any toxic chemicals, reducing carbon and water footprints, the use of energy due the removal of fossil fuels.

When submitted to miDori® application a fabric gains a soft and smooth surface, and also an enhanced comfort, offering the skin a natural and luxurious feel. This products also elevates textile performance, increasing durability and fast-drying properties.

Plant fibres far stronger than cotton and finer/silkier than other bast fibres (flax, hemp, jute, etc.). Nettle plants are ecologically sustainable, requiring far less water, no chemical pesticides or fertilization.

Nettle yarns are similar to linen but stronger (even more if wet), being ideal to more structured garments; they can also be mercerized and are biodegradable.

This new 'man made fibre' results from processing high-quality cellulose, extracted from citrus juice leftovers, otherwise disposed of with costs for the processing industry and the environment.O/RANGE yarn is soft, silky and light-weight, and it can be used alone or blended with other fibres.

Leaf fibres obtained from the waste of pineapple harvesting.By removing the leaves from the plant, which can only bear fruit once then dies, there is a use of material that would otherwise be burnt or landfilled.The result is a 100% biodegradable renewable fibre, that is lightweight, soft and glossy yet resistant and a good insulator.

Polylactic Acid (PLA) fibres are a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based fibres, being made 100% from renewable raw materials (corn), representing a 70% less CO2 emission and up to 42% less use of energy in manufacturing the raw material, but are also recyclable and up to 100% biologically degradable (industrially compostable).

Seacell™ is a fibre with unique properties of seaweed that protect the skin against harmful environmental influences: the seaweed is rich in substances (such as vitamins, trace elements, amino acids and minerals) that help activate cell regeneration, which in turn can help relieve skin diseases, reduce inflammation and soothe itchiness.

Its high level of antioxidants protects the skin against harmful free radicals which damage our skin cells.

Smartcel™ Sensitive helps skin regeneration, improving wound healing and inflamation reduction thanks to zinc oxides being ideal for people with very sensitive skin.

This fibre also acts as a shield against harmful UVA and UVB radiation and possesses antibacterial plus odor-reducing properties. The fibre is produced without the use of aggressive chemicals, solely from renewable raw materials, making it both eco-friendly and fully biodegradable.
